This paper examines the relationship between theatre and social responsibility, and the related possibilities and problems, through the theatre pedagogy program of Budapest Katona József Theatre (Behívó,) and a multi-year project (Eltáv.) The introduction of Behívó is centred on the description of programs closely tied to the theatre’s repertoire, while the introduction of Eltáv details the projects’ precursors within the theatre (see performances that contained Romani representation,) the cooperation with the Autonomy Foundation, and the depiction of the segregated settlement (Szúcs-Bányatelep) chosen for the project’s location.
